<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Scotvs Capitis, post: 165951, member: 6571&quot;]Finally got a decent coin of Julia Domna, now to get a decent imperial of Geta to replace the crummy one to have this set of Severus&#039; family complete (please forgive the misspelling of &quot;Severus&quot; in the title, I slip up that way often!). It is fitting though that my Geta is in such poor shape, considering the poor kid suffered &quot;damnatio memoriae&quot; to wipe his brother from history.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thought I&#039;d share the happy family since I need to post more over here. :smile</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/smhead/coins/Gallery/sep_serv_03.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/smhead/coins/Gallery/sep_serv_03.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/smhead/coins/Gallery/sep_serv_03.jpg</a></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Septimius Severus</b></p><p>AR Denarius 17mm (3.48 g) Struck 197 AD.</p><p><b>Ob: </b>L SEPT SEV PERT AVG VIIII, Laureate head right</p><p><b>Rv:</b> HECVLI DEFENS, Hercules standing right, holding club on ground in right hand, bow in left.</p><p><b>Ref: </b>RIC IV 97; BMCRE 218; RSC 212</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/smhead/coins/Gallery/domna02.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/smhead/coins/Gallery/domna02.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/smhead/coins/Gallery/domna02.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Julia Domna</b></p><p>Issued under Caracalla AR Denarius, 211-217 AD, 19mm - 3.1 grams</p><p><b>Ob:</b> IVLIA PIA FELIX AVG, draped bust right</p><p><b>Rv:</b> PVDICITIA, Pudicitia seated left, veiled &amp; right hand on her breast; holding scepter.</p><p><b>Ref: </b>RIC Vol. IV, Part I, page 273, #385(c) (scarce) (plate 13, #19); Cohen 172; RCV 7105</p><p><br /></p><p><b><a href="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/smhead/coins/Gallery/caracalla1.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/smhead/coins/Gallery/caracalla1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/smhead/coins/Gallery/caracalla1.jpg</a></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Caracalla Denarius</b></p><p>Struck 215 AD</p><p><b>Ob:</b> ANTONINVS PIVS AVG GERM, laureate head right</p><p><b>Rv:</b> PM TRP XVIII COS IIII, Fides standing left holding two standards</p><p><b>Ref:</b> RIC 266, RSC 315, BMC 143</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/smhead/coins/Gallery/geta.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/smhead/coins/Gallery/geta.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b105/smhead/coins/Gallery/geta.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p><b>GETA, Provincial of Anchialus, Thrace</b></p><p><b>Ob:</b>P CEPT GETAC K</p><p><b>Rv:</b>AGXIALEWN = Anchialos in Thrace; Snake emerging up to right of half opened basket (systa mystica)</p><p><b>Ex:</b> WN</p><p><b>Ref:</b> AE-18; Moushmov 2970 - Ancient Coins of the Balkan Peninsula, Plate IX; AMNG 550[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
